Result of my first photo shoot!

Me and two of my friends from Hallo Academy entered a D&AD student award contest.
The brief was for the Dove self-esteem fund.
Our concept was to encourage young female teenagers to "discover the power of self acceptance"
So I had my first photo shoot a couple of months ago and I worked with a professional photographer, models, stylist and illustrator. It was a lot of fun cause I got to be the director! ahhah Steve came too to help me out.
And this weekend we just heard that our idea was selected for the "In Book" award,
which means that our work is going to be published in the D&AD book.
And these books are going to be sent to advertising companies all over the world. pretty cool right??!!
But anyways here are the before and after picture.

Antwerp

Went on a trip to Antwerp - Belgium with Marvin & Marloes (m&m).

Nice city, good shopping street and really nice food and hmm. chocolate!
Story of Antwerp: Antwerp comes from the word Handwerpen which means "throwing the hand."
We saw a statue of a Roman statue (Brabo).
He saved Antwerp by attacking the giant, cutting off his hand and throwing it to the water.
